Asian Ramen Slaw ~ Quick and Easy Side Dish
One of my kids came home from school telling us we absolutely had to make Asian Ramen Slaw aka Crack Slaw. It was an instant hit and we’ve been making this easy side dish for ages. It’s perfect to add to any meal for busy weeknights and great for summer cookouts too.
Ingredients Needed:
- Cabbage ~ Use a bag of slaw mix to make it even easier.
- Carrots
- Green Onions
- Ramen Noodles ~ Just the noodles, discard the seasoning packet.
- Sliced Almonds
- Toasted Sesame Seeds
- Olive Oil
- Honey
- Rice Wine Vinegar
- Soy Sauce
- Toasted Sesame Oil
- Granulated Garlic
How to Make Asian Ramen Slaw:
- Toast the sliced almonds and crushed ramen in a dry skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally. If your sesame seeds are not toasted, throw them in the skillet at the end.
- When the almonds are lightly browned, pour the mixture into a bowl and set aside to cool slightly.
- Chop or shred cabbage and shred the carrot. Slice the green onions. Add all to a bowl.
- Mix the dressing by combining the olive oil, honey, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce and garlic with a whisk.
- Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture.
- Stir to mix well. If you are not serving immediately, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. You’ll want to add the toasted almond and ramen mixture in just before serving.
- Add the toasted almonds, ramen and sesame seeds.
- Mix well and serve immediately.
How to Store:
- Leftover slaw can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 days but it is best served fresh. The ramen will become soft and no longer crunchy.
